Def_Business Model Canvas
A business model canvas describes how an enterprise creates, delivers, andcaptures value for and from its customers.
- BABOK Guide v3 -
A BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS is a tool to describe, analyze and design Business Models.Business model can best be described through NINE BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS that show the logic of how a company intends to make money. The nine elements are mapped on four main business areas: customers, supply, infrastructure and financial strength.Then a Business Model is like a blueprint for a strategy to be implemented, through a plan of evolution of its organizational structure, processes and systems: the BUSINESS PLAN

Business Model Canvas vs BABOK
• It is a widely used and effective framework that can be used to understand and optimize business models.
• It is simple to use and easy to understand.
• Does not account for alternative measures of value such as social and environmental impacts.
• The primary focus on value propositions does not provide a holistic insight for business strategy.
• Does not include the strategic purpose of the enterprise within the canvas.
A business model canvas can be used as a DIAGNOSTIC and PLANNING tool regarding strategy and initiatives.
• As a DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, the various elements of the canvas are used as a lens into the current state of the business, especially with regards to the relative amounts of energy, time, and resources the organization is currently investing in various areas.
• As a PLANNING TOOL, the canvas can be used as a guideline and framework for understanding inter-dependencies and priorities among groups and initiatives

OFFER
What to do: 1. Describe the customers 2. Divide them into segments 3. Understand their needs, for what they are paying

What to do: 1. Define how customers pay2. Define to what they are willing to pay3. Define the price setting mechanism
We can generate one or more Revenue Streams from each Customer Segment.
Each Revenue Stream may have different pricing mechanisms, such as fixed list prices, bargaining, auctioning, market dependent, volume dependent, or yield management.
A business model can involve two different types of Revenue Streams:• TRANSACTION REVENUES resulting from one-time
customer payments• RECURRING REVENUES
For what value are our customers really willing to pay?
For what do they currently pay?
How much does each Revenue Stream contribute to overall revenues?

We can distinguish between two broad classes of business model Cost Structures:• COST-DRIVEN (focus on minimizing costs wherever possible)• VALUE-DRIVEN (focus on value creation)
Cost Structures can have the following characteristics:• FIXED COSTS (despite the volume of goods or services
produced)• VARIABLE COSTS (proportionally with the volume of goods or
services produced)• ECONOMIES OF SCALE (Cost advantages that a business
enjoys as its output expands)• ECONOMIES OF SCOPE (Cost advantages that a business
enjoys due to a larger scope of operations)
